Glitch Guard
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRunning a 20% off sale and worried customers will stack another code on top? Selling gift cards that shouldn't be discounted at all? Discount Guardian blocks specific codes on the products, collections, vendors or locations you choose and shows shoppers a custom message at checkout so you don't kill the sale, just the discount.
Find discounts that leak margin before they cost you sales: a 90%-off code with no end date, a code still running months after the sale, or a quiet edit that widens a promo. GlitchGuard watches your discounts and alerts you in plain English, links each alert to the discount, and stays quiet about what you approve until it changes. It only reads discount data and never changes a discount.
- Block discount codes for products, variants, vendors, gift cards and more
- Set custom messages about why a discount code is blocked so you don't lose sales
- Prevent discount codes being used on products that are on sale
- Block all discount codes on checkout with a click & reactivate as easily
- Flag open-ended deep discounts that have no spending cap.
- Catch discounts left running long past their intended end date.
- Get alerted when a discount changes from the setup you approved.
